nxp-imu 0.0.1

python library to use the Adafruit NXP 9-Dof IMU

NXP IMU

Python drivers for Adafruit Precision NXP 9-DOF. This is basically a python version of Adafruit’s FXOS8700 and their FXAS21002C written in C++ for the Arduino.

NXP Precision 9DoF

The board consists of two separate ICs, described below:

FXOS8700 3-Axis Accelerometer/Magnetometer

• 2-3.6V Supply

• ±2 g/±4 g/±8 g adjustable acceleration range

• ±1200 µT magnetic sensor range

• Output data rates (ODR) from 1.563 Hz to 800 Hz

• 14-bit ADC resolution for acceleration measurements

• 16-bit ADC resolution for magnetic measurements

FXAS21002 3-Axis Gyroscope

• 2-3.6V Supply

• ±250/500/1000/2000°/s configurable range

• Output Data Rates (ODR) from 12.5 to 800 Hz

• 16-bit digital output resolution

• 192 bytes FIFO buffer (32 X/Y/Z samples)
